Internet Pirates win EU seat in Sweden

The Times reports that
"Sweden’s Pirate Party, which wants an internet filesharing free-for-all, is one of the surprise entrants to the European Parliament after winning 7.4 per cent of the vote."
Internet file-sharing is obviously more important than I thought.
